ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for interconnecting first and second objects, comprises a connector element and an anchoring element which are formed on the first object and a connector aperture and an anchoring aperture defined in the second object. The connector element extends from the first object along a notional line. The anchoring element is disposed at a distance along the notional line from the connector element, and extends parallel to the connector element. The anchoring aperture is disposed at a distance along the notional line from the connector aperture. The connector element is received in the connector aperture and disposed at an engaged position where the connector element engages the periphery of the connector aperture. Within the connector aperture, the connector element is movable along the notional line between the engaged position and a disengaged position. The anchoring element is received in the anchoring aperture and disposed at a retaining position where the anchoring element allows the connector element to be in the engaged position. Within the anchoring aperture, the anchoring element is movable along the notional line between the retaining position and a releasing position. A flexible locking element is joined to the second object and disposed in the anchoring aperture at a position where it takes over the releasing position for the anchoring element.
